Happy New Year!

My family rang in the New Year in
style at a friends’ house. There was good food and good fun in a wonderful place. One
of the many wreaths found its way on to a beautiful tree.

We were thankful for our friends and
even more thankful to learn we missed a 26-hour power outage at home. Sadly,
this power outage resulted in some lost food in the freezer and fridge, and a
significant purchase of new food. On the positive side, we missed the entire
outage and the fridge and freezer are spotless.

While visiting with friends I was
able to do some shopping at Michael’s and Fabricland, so I have some new
purchases to inspire my next creations. Too tired to do a full blog on the purchases
now, but their time for a public unveiling will come.

Cici spent New Year’s with some
friends of her own which were kind enough to rescue her from the power outage.
She seems to have had a good time, but is now suffering the post-Christmas
blues.

A little about me...

I'm an avid knitter and professionally trained designer, based in Toronto, Canada. I draw on a wide variety of influences for inspiration in the design of colourwork mittens. At any given time, I'd rather be knitting. Find me on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JanetWelshKnits, or on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/designers/janet-welsh-knits.

A little about this blog...

This blog is a past project designed to showcase some of the things I was making, while learning the art of blogging. While no longer an active blog, I have left it up in case people want to explore some of my past thoughts and projects.
